Sweet potato, chickpea and coriander soup

Sweet potatoes and pureed chick peas have a magical way of producing a very ‘creamy’ texture together. Topped with slightly spiced chick peas this makes a delicious healthy and vegan soup for the whole family.

Method

Heat the olive oil, onions, sweet potato and coriander in a large saucepan over medium high heat.

Add the chick peas and stock.

Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes until potatoes are cooked through. Season to taste.

Puree soup using a stick blender or liquidizer until smooth.

Reheat before serving.

For the garnish: place the chick peas on a tray lined with baking parchment.
